you a Seal yet secret and not known Δ. Zach. 13. Et erit dies una quae nota est Domino c. Behold now cometh that day that is known unto the Lord himself wherein the Kingdoms of the earth shall begin to fall that they may perceive how they have run astray and how weak they are in the triumph of their pompe And now out of Hierusalem out of the Church of God and of his Son Christ shall passe out and flow the water of life That the sayings of the Angels and Spirit of the Lord may be verified upon the face of the earth spoken by his annointed Zachary Now shall those dayes open themselves which are the dayes of vengeance Now Now shall these woes that have been spoken of and sealed burst out to the confusion of the wicked and the establishment of his Kingdom which is annointed Behold I teach thee Those that inhabit the holy City and usurp the authority of the Highest are called in remembrance before the Lord and they shall be scattered like unto the mighty hail that the spirits of the North have gathered against the day of revenge They are become proud and think there is no God They are stiff-necked for they are the 〈◊〉 of wickedness Lo in the dayes of Rodolph shall this come to passe of whom the Lord hath said If he hear me and believe my words I will place Thee Δ unto him as a mighty rock I will open unto thee Δ for his instructions and safeguard to come my determinations in hand and lo to come And when he hath wiped away his darknesse and offence of his soul I will appear unto him to the terrour of all Nations For I rejoyce when I exalt such as are weak And when I help the comfortlesse am I magnified Δ. Thanks honour and glory is due to thee O our God Uriel ..... And behold the day of this visitation and of the execution of my judgements is at hand And lo I open unto you another Seal Because I have said unto you I am true and just In the year eighty eight shall you see the Sun move contrary to his course The Stars encrease their light and some of them fall from heaven Then shall the Rivers run blood Then shall the wo be unto women with child Then shall the time come to passe that this Prophesie shall be known For lo the Lord hath prepared his Prophet and he shall descend from the Heavens as it is written by Malachiah the Prophet Behold I will send before that day not that day I spoke of but the great day of the Lord Elias again amongst you In the mean season will I be mercifull unto Rodolph and will bring into his house such as shall be skilfull unto whom I will give my spirit to work Gold Silver and the Ornaments of his house And he shall perceive that I blesse him In that I have tied him to my Garments If he hear thee not Behold I have one in store Yea such an one as cleaveth unto Justice Man is but a Reed that is shaken with every winde The pride of Kings is as the beauty of a Peacock See how they run all astray See how they tempt the spirits of righteousnesse Lo as I have said unto thee I reserve that wicked King not that I will be mercifull unto him But that he shall shortly perish with an eternal scourge And now hear me what I say unto thee Hereafter see thou tempt me not Neither look for my presence after this order But for great causes For lo this is the end of Teaching Now cometh in the time of warning and of counsel Δ. Will you give me leave to speak Uriel ..... Say Δ. I trust it shall not offend God at any time to call for Uriel his light in matters dark to us and above our capacity Also in Enoch his Tables understanding and enjoying we are to require help of instruction at Ave and so of other points and Doctrines already begun we are to require their help who have begun with us c. Uriel ..... As far as the Lord hath suffered you to enter into his Garden Even so far I say Taste and eat Δ. The entrance yet we have not but the manner to enter The perfect practise is the best entrance Uriel ..... Man speaketh not with thee wherefore dost thou wrast the Lord All things that are delivered thee are plain Δ. Lord I do thus speak to be perfectly instructed in what sense your words are to be understood when you said This is the end of teaching Δ. Vriel or perhaps in the name of God Uriel ..... Thou hast called upon me and I have heard thee Thou hast desired comfort and I have comforted thee Thou hast the spirit of choice Be it sufficient unto thee that the Garden of the Lord is open unto thee where there is no hunger nor thirst but a filling spirit a comforter †What care is it unto me if the Kings of the earth say Lo this is not of me Lo this is not of the highest Δ. Ex Dei lumine Uriel ..... Behold I am the light and servant of God Blessed are those which believe and are made partakers in this Testimony by the which you are become Prophets and are sanctified for the coming of the Lord. But lo why do I speak unto you who have defiled your selves I will take up those things that I have and will be gone Lo blessed is he that giveth ear unto the Lord. E. K.

A meridie we came to Cracovia and as we were within an English mile of the City being a fair and calm day there passed about half a mile before us crossing from the right hand to the left Whirlwinds divers one after another wreathing up the dust with great vehemency on high and shooting forward still and then mounting into the air and so went Southerly from us and likewise some began on the right hand and came furiously raising up and wreathing the dust up into the air Southerly also and did not crosse the way When we came to our house we found that a stranger was set into it by the Landlords Mr. John Long the Judge and Martin Plutner and having by me the keys of the Store-house and of the Street-door I caused my stuff brought with me to be set in and that night we made hard shift for lodging But the new and forced in tenants gave me leave to have one of my Bedsteads which was in one stove and emptied the same to us with much ado Saturday and Sunday we were sore out-faced or rather threatned that we should have no house there and also one Bonar his arms were set upon the door as if the house had been allowed to him ex officio Monday I made the Rector privy of the Injuries I indured and he courteously sent two Masters of Art with me to the Proconsul to have Citation for the Landlords to appear on Tuesday by 7 of the clock to answer to our complaint This Monday-night came the Lord Lasky from Lasko upon a Letter he had received from me from Niso of my coming Tuesday Aprilis 16 the Lord Lasky came to the house and in the morning would have presently cast all their stuff out of doors but by entreaty he permitted them to empty all into the lower stove In the mean space I appeared with my Lawyer or Attourney Mr. Tetaldo an Italian an ancient Practitioner in the Polish and Cracovian Causes And to conclude I had a Decree against my Landlords that I was to have at least an half years warning whereupon John Laugh gave me warning to avoid at Michaelmas and so we came from the Court or Town-house called Praetorium in Latine This same Tuesday afternoon my Lord Lasky went to the King of Poland up into the Castle and told him of my comming and how evilly I was used and he said why did he not cast them out of doors so have I now quoth the Lord Lasky and the King granted the House to be holden ex officio And the next day the King was desirous to speak with me Aprilis 17. Wednesday I went with the Lord Lasky to the King to whom I said to this intent Consolatio pax misericordia Dei sit tibi ô serenissime Rex Coram quo Divinitus recipi admonitionem ut me sustinem quod nunc humillime facio paratissimus cum omni fidelitate sinceritate ea cum Regia vestra Majestate tractare quae mihi divinitus injungantur Quorum mysteriorum historias de ordine in ordinem referre prout occasio dabitur non recusabo aliaque omnia peragere quae Deo vestrae Majestati 〈◊〉 gratia fore intelligero c.

Nothing appearing or being heard in a quarter of an hour space I suspected some of our misdoings to be the cause of the Lord his refraining to answer and thereupon I did fall to prayer for mercy and grace and deliverance from the assaults and malitious purposes of the Devil against us And that I did the rather because as I felt my good Angel 〈◊〉 other good friend in vertue so I felt Pilosum sensibly busie and as it were to errisie me with my offences past or to put me out of hope at this present from being heard But I held on to pray divers Psalms and at length against the wicked tempters purposely After my prayers and assuring E. K. that the spiritual enemy was here busie and attended to frustrate this dayes Action He answered that against him E. K. he could not prevail or accuse him for his late notable fault for he had made a reckoning and sorrowful bewailing for that his trespass to the Lord and that he doubted not of forgiveness and that he was so reconciled to God that Satan nor any other wicked accuser could put him in any doubt of God his mercy c.

True it is that in respect of the terrour and force of God his wrath and indignation in 1 Judgement Reconciliation is made through that power which is given unto the Lamb to whom all power is given in Heaven and Earth But with the 2 congregation and the members of Christ his body the number of the faithful the Church of God you have not made reconciliation And therefore are not sinners worthy to behold the face of true light and understanding for there is a double Reconciliation One and the firs between the Conscience and the Judge through the force of faith and repentance that is to say Reconciliation against Judgement Another the secon Reconciliation between the Spirit of Truth the Church of Go and mans Conscience Behold I teach you a mystery 1. Those that are at one with God shall not be judged with the wicked in the last Judgement Notwithstanding the Justice of God is pure and undefiled and suffereth not mans fault unpunished 2. But he that is at one with the Spirit of God is made one with him and without punishment For there are many things that God beareth witnesse of in the soul and secret Chambers of man that neither the blessed already dignified nor to be dignified do or can know which is the cause that the soul of man after his body sleepet being found polluted is received and snatched up of such as are the Messagers of punishment and so according to the multitude of their sins are in horrour and punishment Therefore not all that are punished shall be damned Neither is it evident unto the Angels who shall be saved I speak generally Therefore when you offend be also reconciled unto the Mother of the house that you may have place before such as are reproved Herein you may understand the retaining of sin For the retaining of sin is a judgement And therefore it is necessary that God should hold a general day that those that have trusted in him and inwardly have been sorry for their offences may also taste of his mercy Else how could it be verified that the Prophet saith If in Hell thou art also there But here there is a Caution All sins that are forgiven by the Church passe not the fire but he that is forgiven in his heart by God in his Son Christ and 2 reconciled through the holy Spirit to the body from whence he is fallen is safe as well from the wrath of God to come as the punishment due unto his offences And therefore is the reconciling of brethren of great force Wherefore hath Christ left his body with the Church Wherefore is he called the bread of Life I say unto you my brethren that the body of Christ dignified and glorified is true bread is true comfort which cleanseth sinners that are penitent and wipeth away the punishment of adversity Happy are those that eat of him and that account not his body as the shadow of a candle Behold I teach you Even as the Spirit of God filleth the Congregation of the faithful so doth the body of Christ now dignifie fill and cleanse all that receive with sorrow sorrow I mean for their wickednesse But lo his body is become an offence unto the world Many there are that say This is Christ But behold I teach you Even as all things were made by him spiritually So are all that are of his Elect nourished through him bodily Lo he is become one power one God in that he is neither
